Things are moving forward for the Olives New Zealand-led Focus Grove Project, with news that the initiative has reached the shortlist for the 2016 Sustainable Farming Fund. The final outcome will be advised in April and industry fingers are tightly crossed for a successful result, which will ensure completion of this important research project. In the meantime, generous donations received from within the industry have enabled the full round of planned Focus Grove visits and a field day during 2015. All were very well attended and appreciated by attendees, further proof of the value of the project and the support received from members. Credit goes to all who’ve contributed – if you haven’t and you’d like to be a part of this great initiative, you can do so here.
